This vintage linen postcard features a colorful illustration of The Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The hotel, an iconic landmark, is depicted with clear architectural details and lush garden landscaping in the foreground. The postcard belongs to the popular 'Busy Persons Correspondence Card' series, designed for quick communication by checking boxes to describe the sender's feelings and activities.

Printed by Tichnor Bros., Inc., Boston, this postcard dates from the Linen era (1930-1945), known for its vibrant colors and textured finish that enhanced image quality. The reverse side shows a handwritten message and a clear postmark dated July 20, 1953, from Virginia Beach, along with a 2-cent US postage stamp. This piece captures mid-20th century travel culture and correspondence style, making it a collectible item for postcard enthusiasts and those interested in historic Virginia landmarks.

If you choose "FREE" shipping, the card will be sleeved and sent in a thin cardboard mailer using eBay Standard Envelope (ESE) tracking. Note that ESE tracking only tracks movement between processing centers and does not provide mailbox-to-mailbox tracking. A "Delivered" or "Out For Delivery" scan indicates that the card has reached the final sorting center prior to your local post office; it may take a few extra days, to a week (& add up to an additional week during Xmas), to reach your mailbox. Expect potential delays of up to 3 weeks within the U.S.

Free ESE Shipping Limitations: The cardboard mailer cannot be marked "Do Not Bend" nor "Hand Cancel" and the card cannot be sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, as these options disqualify it from ESE shipping.

? Upgraded Shipping - Ground Advantage or Priority:

YOU may choose to pay for Ground Advantage or Priority shipping, during checkout, for added protection, which includes a sturdy, thick mailer and mailbox to mailbox USPS tracking. If you wish to upgrade from ESE to Ground Advantage or Priority shipping after your purchase, please contact me immediately, and I'll provide a link to an eBay listing for you to purchase the additional shipping cost.
